Carlos owns an orchard. His apple trees produced 315 bushels of apples. Each bushel of apples weighs about 48 pounds. There are about 3 apples in each pound. About how many apples did Carlos' apple trees produce? Please show how it is done. Thank you

Sagot :

if
1 bushel = 48 pounds
and 1 pound = 3 apples
       48 pounds = x apples               cross multiply
x apples = 48 X 3 ==> 144 apples
1 bushel = 144 apples (because 48 pounds = 1 bushel)
315 bushel = x apples
x apples = 144 X 315
x = 45360 apples
